College completes year three of institution-wide accreditation assessment

March 17, 2014

Lewis & Clark has submitted its Year Three Self-Evaluation Report to the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (NWCCU), our institutional accrediting body.

This report was completed as part of the second phase of a seven-year reaffirmation cycle. The next step in the process will be a virtual visit from the NWCCU evaluation committee during the month of April.

“Institutional accreditation is extremely important because it qualifies our students and faculty for federal funds,” Figueroa said. “Additionally, it gives Lewis & Clark a clear endorsement of the integrity and quality of the institution’s mission, educational programs, and administration.”

Last week, the 100-page report was made available online for viewing by those with a Lewis & Clark log-in. Community members are encouraged to review the report and may contact Figueroa with questions.
